How to import node module in Angular?

Question

I'm developing an Angular app. For some reason I want to use querystring.escape() . I wrote import { escape } from 'querystring' , but I got querystring.escape is not a function error. How can I import a node module in typescript?

Answer 1

You are destructuring querystring trying to get the escape property, but then you want to call querystring.escape() which you haven't imported.

What you want to do is this:

import * as querystring from 'querystring';

or

import querystring from 'querystring'
